MANCHESTER – Jimi Manuwa has never gone to the third round, but to sustain that streak at UFC Fight Night 30, he had to rely on a bizarre ending to his fight with fellow light heavyweight Ryan Jimmo.

The main-card fight, which aired on FOX Sports 2 from Phones4u Arena in Manchester, England, included some slugging and lots of stalling between Jimmo (18-3 MMA, 2-2 UFC) Manuwa (14-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC). But late in the second round, after delivering a punch, Manuwa saw Jimmo bounce a few times – and then collapse in pain while clutching his right leg.
